When I was younger I purchased a new CD or two a week. I haven't purchased music in a long time. When Hastings went out of business they where selling CD for change and I cleaned up then. A lot of music is a remake of an old song anyways.
There are a couple versions out there, some much longer than others. Violator in general is an album you need to listen to loud, with good stereo separation. Maybe I just have that nostalgia but there are a lot of Depeche Mode albums that still blow me away.Every now and then I get Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence as an ear worm out of nowhere. Every time I then listen to it I get disappointed. The version that lives its own life in my head is much bigger, more complex and textured in a way that connects with my emotions. The real track is still great, but since I've never really listened that much to Depeche Mode, I seem to lack that bit of nostalgia needed to melt it all together.
Well, current mainstream music is utter garbage. However, there are some good modern genres and artists that don't get a huge attention. I myself like to listen to some Drum and Bass and Demoscene music (both are electronic genres).
As Stratus said "Drum and Bass and Demoscene" they obviously get the connection. The "regret" appears gratuitous. Why so intent on telling people they are deluded wrt "old" vs "new" without addressing reactions to your earlier post? I liked Robin L's post, it was quite insightful.Drum & Bass has also been around for decades. Demoscene is obvious throwback. I regret to inform you that you're listening to Old Music.
The Genres are old but there are recent releases like in the case of D&B:There are a couple versions out there, some much longer than others.

I may think of just giving it all up for a Shumann device:Me too! I find pink noise very soothing, but white noise? Not so much.
